7:14 am
place this morning in one of the country's biggest states. the law took effect in new york yesterday. most doctors could face stiff fines if they do not issue prescriptions electronically. last year, about 1.4 billion prescriptions were sent directly to pharmacies up around 1 billion in the previous year. our dr. holly phillips is with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> in new york, they are forced to -- >> yes. >> many places you can do it voluntary? >> yes. absolutely, new york is the first to make it mandatory with penalties if you don't do e-prescribing. really this is second part of the law that passed in new york state in 2012 called i stop. the internet system for tracking overprescribing. the first part of the law just gave doctors better visibility into who was getting prescribed what drugs. it cut down a little bit on doctor shopping, right? so if you wanted to prescribe a pantrolled substance, a
7:15 am
percocet, ambien, anything along those lines you could look at the computer and see if the patient had been prescribed something like that recently. the new part of the law just took effect yesterday. it is dramatic. it gets rid of the prescription pad altogether. paper prescriptions will not be accepted at any pharmacies in new york city and you can't call in prescriptions either. >> what do authorities see or your doctor see that we need to change the laws here? >> right. really, a paper prescription, at this particular time could be a point of criminal. some places they were bought and sold. a doctor might write a prescription for eight pills and patients were able to just add a little one there and change it to 18 pills. so the idea here is that if you get rid of the paper prescriptions, you can get rid some of that forgery and it goes directly to a pharmacy. you have software. you sit down, you order the
7:16 am
it goes directly to their pharmacy and there is no paper in between. >> president of the ana said it's okay to suggest they do this, but they should never make it mandatory? >> right. i see that perspective in that it actually is really time intensive and i'm finding it laborious but there are other benefits to it. doctors are notorious for having bad handwriting. i'd like to think i'm not a part of that, but i am. so by doing it on the computer you can cut down on some of those -- you know, on some of those errors just from poor handwriting. >> is there a concern the first thing that jumped out to me is this idea we start putting this online electronically of hacking and that becoming a whole new issue instead of dealing with the prescription pad? >> 100%. i think we all have that concern. there will always be people who try to gain the system but there are safeguard in place. you have to go into the software wiou
7:17 am
prescribe anything but another system that is a token and the numbers change every 30 seconds. so you have to put those numbers in as well. for someone really to steal your information and be able to prescribe in your name, they would have to get both of those steps done. it could be a little challenging. >> we have to break really hard to break the law. >> a good thing. >> it is. thank you, holly phillips. pope francis is speaking out about the threat of terror and extremism. he delivered his easter message on sunday to a massive crowd at st. peters crowd. he condemned the terrorist attacks in other countries and visitors waited in long lines for metal detectors and bag checks. the final four is set this morning in ncaa men's basketball tournament after one wild finish this weekend. syracuse rallying from 13 points down with just over 8:30 left. they td
